Kamado Joe Big Joe® Grill Series I plus Heavy-Duty Cover Bundle

Huge and heavy duty! This exceeded my expectations. Everything from communication and delivery to ease of set up and amazing quality!

Lived up to the hype. I cooked on a Char-grilled Akorn for the last 9 years and finally decided to try out a Big Joe 1. VERY happy with the purchase. Was able to set it up no problem with help from a friend. The red color looks fantastic. Biggest difference from the Akorn has been 1) the ability to have 2 zones with the Divide & Conquer and 2) the ability to control the temperature of the grill. If you’ve cooked on an Akorn you know how easy the temp can rise out of control and it can take forever to reign it back in. The Big Joe has been a huge upgrade so far and my I think my boys are excited about cooking on “the big red grill” as I am.

Consistent and adaptable! I had an offset smoker for 15 years and when it rusted through the firebox, I made the move to the Big Joe. I’m amazed at the consistency of temperature due to the insulation and shape of it. So far I have cooked steaks and chicken hot over coals, reverse seared steaks and burgers using grate and cast iron griddle, double-indirect hot smoked St. Louis ribs, pork shoulder, and brisket. Everything has come out better than my offset. I’m excited to have a do-it-all grill for many years to come.

Good product, bad delivery. I bought it a few weeks ago. We are really happy with the bbq but really disapointed with the delivery. The guy just droped the bbq in front of our house without any help to put it inside the garden. It was a really bad service for this kind of item!

This is awesome. Very easy to assemble and very nice model. The performance is amazing!

Outstanding Smoker. Everything I smoke is delicious. I have cooked chicken, brisket, and turkeys.

Happy to be an owner. My joke classic has performed great over the past decade however due to a military move many parts were broken internally. I ordered new parts which came within 10 days and was surprised to find out that they were manufactured in China. My assembly of the multi-piece firebox that you now have to use took some time and none of the parts seem to align correctly. In addition to the alignment issue the packing was very unique. It was packed and styrofoam but the ceramic was not lined in a plastic bag which caused tons of styrofoam molecules to be dislodged from the Styrofoam packing and created quite the mess when I opened the seven individual boxes.

11 Years old and still Cooking. Bought my Big Joe from Costco ~11 years ago. One of my best investments ever. Only regret I have is not purchasing with spring hinge. Great/ efficient customer service from KamadoJoe as well.

Great Value. Great Product. Love my new Kamado. I have owned a Large Big Green Egg for years and decided to go with the Big Joe this time. because of the extras being included making the final cost of the product less than going with the Big green Egg. I really don't care for the firebox on the Big Joe compared to the Big Green Egg. You have to worry about knocking the metal ring off the petals and its a pain to put together but I will get used to it. The deflector plate system does work better than the plate setter on a Big Green Egg since it covers more area and you can use just one for 2 zone cooking compared to the plate setter on the Big Green Egg.

Great Product. I bought my Kamado Joe about 15 years after using a friends competitors cooker. I absolutely love it and tell all my friends about it. It has really good temp control and the meats stay very moist. I highly recommend the product. The only drawback is customer service. You cannot talk to anyone except by email or chat. And they offer no details about the accuracy of fit for replacement parts. Very poor service. That is hard to swallow. But great product.

Excellent price, tough navigating customer service. Love the discount; however, SHOP App is quick to populate delivery address. Be careful on billing and delivery address because changes are very tough once submitted. There were shipping scratches to ceramic and metal, likely not enough to impact the integrity of the grill. Improved Packing is needed!

Soeday. I've seen these grills in action and buying one is on my Father's Day list, they are sweet!

A great cooking tool. Have had this kamado for years and I will never be without it. From low temperature smoking to high temp searing for steaks and grilled pizza, it is a force. I have been able to hold temps at 200to 275 for easily 24 hours. I have told my wife when I die I want my ashes put in this grill and bury me because no one else will have my Joe!!

A little learning goes a long way. I have had my grill for about a year and a half. We replaced an old natural gas grill and a Weber kettle grill. Those worked okay, but lacked the capacity to smoke meats for long periods. The Kamado Joe has clear instructions for this and other grilling styles. After a little tutoring from the excellent manual that came with the grill our grilling game bumped up many notches--and I'm still learning. It is a versatile and tremendously useful tool.

I love my Komodo Joe. I have had mine for about 6 years and it just gets better and better. Great for steaks and burgers and a perfect smoked butt every time

Still going strong after 13 years. Got this grill 13 years ago and I can’t count the number of cooks and memories feeding family and friends with it. The original was black and KJ warranty replaced it years ago when the base developed a cracked. Not many companies stand behind their products like KJ. When guests come over they automatically ask what’s on the Joe, many have bought their own since, got the newer version but my old faithful is still got a long life in front of it.

Charcoal never tasted so good. In received my Big Joe I as a gift from my wife. She was tired of the pellet smoker and read online how fantastic cooking on the Kamado Joe was. To be honest, I was nervous as I’ve only used propane or a smart pellet smoker where the temperature can be dialed in. So I watched a few how to and getting started videos and wow! It’s easier than I thought and the flavor is amazing! There’s a top ten do’s and dont’s out there that I watched a few times but the overall versatility with the half moon indirect heat plates and multiple height settings for those and the grill grates make it so much more fun to use than anything else I own. I couldn’t have picked a better upgrade to my grilling game!

The best. I purchased months ago and this has been the best grill I’ve ever had

Awesome grill stands the test of time. The Big Joe is a fantastic grill for the money. My grill is over ten years old with hundreds of cooks and im only now having to do work on it. Holds temp perfectly with long cook times!

The One grill to rule them all. I’m a seasoned bbqer, but in recent years I had grown tired of the same old cooks and tired of the cheap feeling thin metal grills and smokers I’ve previously owned. The Kamado Joe is solid and heavy as hell, but more importantly, it has reignited my love of outdoor cooking while also opening up a world of new possibilities to me thanks to things like the divide and conquer system, the pizza stone, the full size Karbon steel griddle, and the Joetisserie. Everything that I’ve cooked on it so far has been delicious, and it will only get better as I get more cooks under my belt on it. There are other grills that claim to be able to do it all, and technically they can, but they don’t do any of it really well. (Sorry, pellet grill owners) But the Kamado Joe , in my estimation, really can do it all and, most importantly, do it all well.

At Last! I thought about buying this grill for probably 6 years. I finally got around to it last year. My steaks are so good now that I refuse to buy one at a restaurant, Mine are much better. This grill has changed cooking for me.

Good All Around Charcoal Grill. Good capacity and holds lots of charcoal. Great longevity as well.

8 + YEARS AND STILL GOING STRONG. For the past 8 years We have grilled , smoked, slow cooked, & made amazing pizza's ( Mac and Cheese , & Alfredo pizzas are the bomb) and our KAMADO JOE has never let us down . With no more then the basic care and maintenance ,cleaning and covering ( we did replace the lid gasket) . This grill is BULLET PROOF.

Just can let it cool down!!!! I received this as a gift from my wife 4 years ago to be part of my newly built outside kitchen and it has been a treat for an simple day dinner or the main attraction during a friends get-together. From a brisket to a carne asada or a rotisserie with a pizza as an appetizer it has been a great addition to our home as is hard to believe that we prefer our Big Joe over the other available options we also have such as the gas grill or the pizza oven, I can't even remember if in the whole last year had to buy any propane for these as the Big Joe hardly cools down when is ready to go again!

Love my Kamado. I purchased a joe Jr last summer,i loved it from day one.Then i saw the classic 1 on sale and purchased that also. The grills have been great although there is a bit of a learning curve. If youy are in the market and are considering a Kamado Joe ust go for it you won't be disappointed .I love to do reverse sear steak using the divide and conquer system

Awesome Cooker! The Big Joe® Grill – Series I has been an outstanding cooker in my backyard. It’s easy to use, heats up predictably, and once you learn the vents it holds temperature with very little babysitting. The build quality feels top-notch—solid ceramics, sturdy hardware, and a tight seal that makes low-and-slow cooks reliable. Where it really shines is the results: steaks come off with a great sear, ribs and pork shoulder get that clean smoke flavor, and pizzas bake with crisp crusts and a nice char. The Big Joe size is a bonus—it handles big cooks for a crowd without feeling cramped. It’s also remarkably versatile. I can go from smoking at 225°F to grilling hot and fast, then switch to baking or roasting without changing equipment. Overall, Series I delivers fantastic food, dependable performance, and the kind of versatility that makes it the centerpiece of an outdoor setup

Very versatile grill! This grill is fantastic! I use it for everything from smoking eggs to grilling meat to making lasagna. It holds temp extremely well, once I get the air flow set, it'll maintain the temperature within a couple of degrees, from smoking eggs at 110 degrees to smoking pork butt at 250 degrees to searing steak at 550 degrees. Absolutely love it!

Love The Big Joe Grill. We bought this grill several years ago. We love cooking with it. We can cook an entire meal on the different levels.

Ceramic Brilliance Grill. The moment I 1st saw it on YouTube being reviewed I thought it was all hype but when I finally got mine mastering it didn’t take long.It heats up and maintains heat very well making a perfect cook every time. I personally love it when i make wings pork or steaks .The round shape makes it easy to arrange the meat for perfect around cook. I am enjoying this journey of discovery what other perfect meat I can prepare on it .My favorite grills and cooks have been chicken wings,pork chops,steaks, pizza corn and loving it.

Unlimited Enjoyment. Isn’t unlimited enjoyment what we all would like to have? Well this summer will mark 10 years of that when it comes to cooking with fire. I don’t even know where to start, but I guess the best place is when it all began. My mother had heard so many great things from a coworker about all the great things he cooked on his green egg and she wanted to get me one for my birthday. Instead of surprising me because she didn’t know if I’d like it she asked me. I’m the type that likes to research major purchases so I did. I looked at a lot of brands and ultimately decided the top two were the green egg and Kamado Joe. As I remember it both were of good quality, but Kamado Joe offered a complete package from the get go while green egg offered a base level grill and you had to purchase items to complete your grill, and on top of that Kamado Joe was more reasonably priced. I asked for the Kamado Joe Big Joe for my birthday and have no regrets to this day! From day one to now it has been easy to set up, cook with and clean up, and clearly, it’s built to last. Sure, I have bought additional Kamado Joe accessories for my Big Joe over the years because of different ways and things I wanted to cook, but that was because I wanted to experiment with different and expanded surfaces. Ultimately after a couple of years I designed a summer kitchen and my Big Joe is the centerpiece. I’ve cooked everything from burgers to brisket and even potatoes and various other vegetables and

Still have my OG Black Kamado Big Joe. My wife and I decided to invest in this Grill over 13 years ago after going through many other grills and smokers. We decided on Kamdo Big Joe because of the versatility this thing would give us. After having it for a while I sold my offset smoker and my gas grill. Didn’t need em anymore. When we got ours they still had the black ones available. Now they only have red ones. I haven’t had any problems with mine and it’s still going strong. It has moved from Texas to upstate Ny and back to Texas and doesn’t have a crack in it. I’ve never had to use the warranty on any part. I love how this company has grown and improved their accessories over the years. I even bought one for my best friend for his birthday because I love mine so much.

Love love love this grill ! Why didn't I get this sooner?!? Wonderful, easy to fill, clean, and cook. Everything from veggies to fish to turkey to steak come out restaurant quality! And smoking is a breeze without much effort.

Fantastic Grill. Just purchased finally got mine! First cook 5 degrees ambient rolled at 275 for 8 hours with minimal adjustments!! Can’t wait to get all the attachments

Love this grill. I have cooked everything from ribs to steaks to biscuits and pizza. This grill does it all!

Great pit. The pit is great! I use it at least twice a week. I’ve had thekamado for 5 years and cook chicken and steaks and even turkeys. I have the rotisserie add on and it’s a great add on.

Best of the best! We have owned our Big Joe for many years and continue to find new ways to cook almost everything! We grill, smoke, rotisserie chickens and even our Thanksgiving turkey every year. We cook pizzas, calzones, and bread. There is no limit to what you can cook with this unit.

Awesome grill/smoker. I purchased my KamadoJoe around 14 years ago. This is and has been the best investment I have ever made when it comes to buying a grill. I was buying gas grills about every two years one reason is they sit outside in the open all the time. My Kamado Joe has held up so. well it still looks pretty much like new. If and when I have to replace it I will definitely replace it with another Kamado Joe

Great Grill. It’s been the most versatile grill ever, it has great features and looks amazing, the best investment ever!

Great grill/smoker. I bought my Kamoto Joe used but like new, so far it has exceeded my expectations and turns out great bbq

Great smoker. I wanted a smoker and in May 2023 decided to take advantage of a great deal on a series 1 Big Joe. It has been perfect. Whether smoking pork shoulder or brisket everything comes out perfect. I've also made homemade pizza and beef jerky and those were excellent too! Very happy with my purchase!

Amazing first experience. Yesterday I finally used the Kamado Joe Big Joe Series I for the first time during a small get-together with friends, and it was an excellent experience. As soon as they saw it, everyone commented on the grill — it looks great, has a beautiful design, and really stands out. What I love most is the ability to split the cooking surface into two zones. I was able to cook on one side directly over the fire, while keeping indirect heat on the other side, which is perfect to avoid overcooking. It also allowed me to keep food warm on one side while finishing the rest, which is extremely convenient when cooking for a group. Temperature control is solid and gives you a lot of confidence while cooking. Overall, an outstanding first use and clearly a great purchase. I’m looking forward to using it a lot more.

Big Joe I Restoration and Performance. "My Kamado Joe Big Joe I is back and better than ever! I purchased a replacement hinge and band set because, like many older Big Joe I owners, the original hinge could no longer securely hold the heavy ceramic lid open. The shipping was fast, but the biggest surprise was that the full hardware set was included with the bands, which usually needs to be purchased separately—a huge bonus! The installation was straightforward, and the secure lift and close has my Big Joe feeling exactly as good as it was when brand new. Beyond the successful repair, the Big Joe I remains an incredible cooker. I love the huge 24-inch cooking space, especially when utilizing the Flexible Cooking System. My favorite setup is using the grill half moon on the lower level for the main course and placing the cast iron half moon on the upper rack to heat up buns, tortillas, and quesadillas. This ability to run two different temperatures and surfaces simultaneously is the definition of versatility. The results are always fantastic and reliable. My wife knows that when she sees me lighting the Big Joe, something truly delicious is on the way. Highly recommend this grill and the quality replacement parts!"

Awesome customer service. My wife bought me one for my 50th birthday and it’s making it to my 65th that’s 100 Dollars a year great investment!

Awesome product and service. I bought a Kamado Big Joe 1 in 2015, and it has been nothing but spectacular. I celebrated my 10-year anniversary this September. I have cooked on my Joe weekly, if not multiple times per week for the last 10 years, and the experience has been nothing but amazing. The versatility is unmatched with the ability to grill, smoke, sear, roast or bake. There’s nothing that you cannot prepare on the Joe. The durability is on another level compared to other grills I have owned previously before I went to Kamado Joe. Out of the 10 years or roughly 1000’s uses I have had very little maintenance. Other than replacing the gaskets and an issue with the original style fire ring, which Kamado Joe replaced with zero issue. The Big Joe and been maintenance free. I big shoutout to their Service department. Not only does Kamado Joe provide an excellent grill, but their accessories also bring everything to a different level. This was the best purchase that I have ever made.

Love my Big Joe! I’ve owned my Big Joe for several years now. I could not be more pleased with it, it’s been extremely durable and cooks great. I especially like the ability to control and hold the temperature of the grill. Best grill I’ve ever owned!

Awesome Grill. I’ve had the large Big Joe series 1 for 4 months and it is a very versatile grill and smoker. It is great for cooking steaks with the variable tier grates that allows to you to obtain a perfectly seared steak. The two piece ceramic deflectors is also a very nice feature.

The absolute best! I've had a couple different Komodo style smokers over the years. This one is the absolute best in class.

Great grill. effortless cooking. Easy to control the temperature and smoke meat without having to soak wood chips or worry about flare ups. Best charcoal grill/smoker I’ve ever had.

Cook like a pro! Bought this grill after weeks of research. I do more cooking outside than I do in my kitchen. This grill covers all aspects, from roasting, smoking, searing etc. I couldn’t be happier with it!

So happy. This is the best grill for steaks and hamburgers a lot more even than the griddle we have.

Great BBQue. I've had my Kamodo Joe 10 plus years. I still enjoy it every weekend!!!

Great Smoker! My hubby has this - he is the grill master in the family. He absolutely loves it and make the most incredible smoked meats! He loves doing ribs, pork butt, pork belly and other goodies. He watches barbecue/smoker videos, TV shows, etc. and really takes pride in what he is able to cook on this. It has become his Sunday passion. He's only had it for a couple of years and is sorry that he did not get one much sooner. I know he would definitely recommend it!

Classic Joe series 1. I bought this Joe last month. It was my first experience with a ceramic egg. I’ve had a kettle grill for a few years and a good friend had a Joe and he would always bring amazing smoked meats to work. I was convinced. Bought myself the Joe late last month and I’m currently working on my 3rd cook. First 2 I made smoked turkey and pork ribs. Both came out great, mastering the temperature is the trickiest part but on my 3rd cook it’s going beautifully. Working on another turkey right now. Highly recommend, it’s a game changer, a great skill to master, and you will leave people in awe with the meats you will smoke. Will by Joe jr soon so I can take with me on trips.

Love the temperature control. I’ve had mine about 5 years. Still going strong. Love this product

Love my Kamado Big Joe! I think that we use the Kamado Big Joe more that we use our indoor kitchen, and definitely more than our gas grill.  From a 16 hour brisket, 3-2-1 ribs, or even just a steak, everything tastes better on the Kamado. And talk about amazing customer service. We moved two years ago and I tried to pack the Kamado Joe like it came when I purchased it. We I screwed up and the hinge and backed out a bolt too far and couldn't compress it enough to get the bolt back in. Called customer support and get some insight on how to get it back together. They said to not even try, and sent me a brand new hinge and rings, with all of the stainless nuts and bolts. Five stars for support too!!!!!!!

Heat Fluctuates no more. Ceramic Construction Power: The thick ceramic walls of the Kamado Joe are brilliant heat insulators, locking in warmth and providing remarkably stable temperatures. This design reduces fluctuations in temperature, making both high-heat grilling and low-and-slow smoking a breeze.

Kamado Joe 24 Inch Charcoal Grill. This grill is a great addition to my outdoor cooking and grilling equipment choices giving me the opportunity to choose the best cooking style for each style and taste i am looking when i cook.

Absolutely Amazing! I’ve had many grills and smokers over the years. Vertical smokers, offsets, gas, steel kamados, and they all work for what they are. But they are not a Kamado Joe. This grill is fantastic. It is built to last, with extra thick ceramic walls. It rolls easily for its weight. I wish I would have bought this years ago because this is the last grill I ever plan on owning. It outperforms every grill I’ve ever had and would buy it again in a heartbeat. I have zero complaints and only praises for every aspect of the Big Joe.

Life Changing. We purchased the Kamado Joe Classic I a few weeks ago after wanting a new grill and not being sure what would be the best option. Historically using propane, we really wanted to convert to charcoal. Researching ceramic grills for a few months, we decided to purchase a Kamado Joe over a Big Green Egg. Primarily due to the reputation for quality and capability. The price for what arguably is the same system, was also helpful in making the decision. After owning the unit for a few weeks, we hardly cook on anything else. The flexibility, capability, ease of use, and quality of output is unlike any grill we have owned or I have had meals prepared on. We have used ours for traditional burgers, chicken, pork, and sausages, but have also used it for pizza, chili (renedering ground beef over the chili below (… Yup!), and next on the list is a cornbread. A colleague purchased theirs shortly after and has had the same experience. We actually talk about it probably too much. Highly recommend this new addiction (you’ll quickly own enough accessories that you’ll need a place to put them all). Go Team Red!

Best Grill Evver. The Big Joe does not disappoint. It has plenty of space to feed the masses. For longer smokes, it locks in the temperature.

The only grill you'll ever need. the Kamado Big Joe Grill is an impressive investment for grilling enthusiasts, combining versatility, durability, and superior cooking performance. Its heavy-duty ceramic construction ensures excellent heat retention and distribution, allowing for precise temperature control, which is pivotal for achieving perfect grilling results. Whether you’re slow-cooking tender ribs or searing steaks to perfection, this grill accommodates a wide range of culinary endeavors with ease. The generous cooking space is especially advantageous for those hosting large gatherings or experimenting with multiple dishes simultaneously. Despite its heft, which may pose a challenge for some in terms of mobility, the inclusion of a cart with locking wheels eases maneuverability and stability. The air lift hinge also mitigates the weight of the heavy ceramic lid, enhancing user convenience. The Kamado Big Joe's versatility extends beyond grilling to baking, smoking, and even roasting, making it a comprehensive outdoor cooking solution. While the price point might be a consideration for some potential buyers, the long-term benefits and performance quality justify the investment for serious grillers. Overall, the Kamado Big Joe Grill stands out as a top-tier choice for those seeking a resilient, versatile, and efficient grill, promising years of culinary satisfaction and elevating outdoor cooking experiences to new heights.

Love my Big Joe. Purchased a big Joe to supplement my Joe classic which I love as well. These Komodo coolers are the most versatile cookers. I’ve ever used. Grilling/smoking is so easy it’s unbelievable. I’ve gotten rid of my other grills and smokers. I’ll never need another !

we love our Kamado Joe series I. We absolutely love our grill and the real charcoal wood flavor that is added to each dish we try. The chicken, the ribs, the burgers, the hotdogs The baked potatoes, the corn on the cob, the grilled seafood have all been Dynomite!! We can’t imagine going back to cooking on propane or any other heat source. Being able to reuse the lump charcoal from Cook to Cook has been awesome!

Amazing, Long Lasting best investment ever. Amazing product with excellent flavor! I primarily use mine to smoke and love the flavor and quality! Beats the pants off the other pellet guys.

Amazing Grill. Best grill I have ever owned, it has great temperature control and room for 3 racks of ribs with any extra accessories. Also great for high temp to sear steaks.

Enjoying my Grill. I have had my Kamadojoe for some time now and it’s a great grill to have the food that comes off of it is blazing good.

A Smoker That Delivers Every Time. I absolutely love my Kamado Joe Big Joe Series I. Out of the four smokers I own, this one is hands-down my favorite. When paired with Big Block charcoal, it maintains steady heat effortlessly for hours, making both low-and-slow cooks and high-heat sears stress-free. The consistency is unmatched—once it’s dialed in, it just stays there. What I enjoy most is the whole experience of smoking on the Big Joe—it’s almost therapeutic. The craftsmanship, the even heat, and the flavor it produces all combine to make cooking an absolute pleasure. Whether I’m doing an overnight brisket or a quick weekend cook, I can always count on this smoker to perform flawlessly. If you’re serious about barbecue and want a reliable, versatile smoker that can handle it all, the Big Joe Series I is the perfect choice.

Smokey kamodo joe is my go to for perfection. The various meats that I eat all come out perfectly tender and delicious every time

The BIG COOK. I used a friend’s Big Joe for a gathering, since I don’t have one of my own. I fell in love with it. I am going to save and buy one for myself. I am a big BBQ guy. I have cooked on all sorts of grills and smokers. By far this is one of my favorites! Hands down.

Outstanding. My wife bought this grill for me as a Father’s Day gift. It’s to date, the best gift I’ve ever received. It has take. My grilling to a level I didn’t think was possible. Absolute game changer!

Long awaited purchase. I had been researching Kamado style shrills for about 2 years. I finally bit the bullet and purchased the classic. I have only used it 4 x but the results were as good as expected. I certainly did not need to spend 2 x the amount on another manufacturers product

Excellent grill. We have had this grill for several years. It is stored outdoors with a cover and still looks and works like new.

My baby Joseph. Best Buy in long time, we did pretty much everything on it,Clasic steaks grilled reverse seared,brisket,chicken,pizza,bread,you named it and we did it

Only the very best BBQ and Smoker for my use. Absolutely love using my Kamado Joe BBQ and Smoker over the last 3 yrs. I have been experimenting with all kinds of meat and recipes! I have perfected Briskets, Steaks and Baby Back Ribs! Best grill out on the market for real BBQ lovers and even for 1st timer's!

Awesome Grill. This grill is awesome, it does everything from grilling to smoking, and so easy to use. I would recommend this grill to anyone who loves to cook burgers, steaks, and smoke chicken and ribs.

Support Was Great. I have an original Big Joe and Kamado's support team worked with me to update my hinge and metal bands to fit my Big Joe with the original mold. They sent two sets of metal bands just to ensure I had everything needed. Great work Kamado team!

Great versatile grill! My Big Joe has been awesome. It is large enough to smoke 3 - 4 full racks of ribs, grill lots of hamburgers, or chicken breasts, etc. It is capable of those great slow smokes, grilling either direct or indirect style, or searing steaks. It has been a fantastic grill.

Amazing grill. I love my grill even though I had to have the top replaced due to it being cracked in a couple places from shipping. The customer service was great and easy. They replaced the top part of the grill and I jsut swapped the hardware onto it. This grill is 10x better than the one I had before and makes grilling a joy.

Versatile. Really enjoy how much you can do on this I have done a whole chicken on the joetisserie, Thor's hammer, Boston butts, beef ribs, wings, pizza, calzones, and a lot of steaks

Great Upsize. I bought the Big Joe for two reasons: Larger Capacity and Joetisserie. I have smoked 4 butts at one time and used the Joetisserie for both chiicken wiings and whole chickens. Everything came out perfectly and I made a lot of people happy.

The only way to grill! I will not use another grill/smoker for my BBQ. For the fall of the bone experience, the Big Joe gets the job done.

Big Joe. I bought the Big Joe around 7-8 years ago and it still works great. I use to smoke and as a regular BBQ. Easy to use Holds temperature great. I’m glad I bought the big Joe I’m able fit a lot of ribs or whatever I’m cooking on the larger cooking surface.

I love my Kamadojoes! My wife surprised with the Kamadojoe and every meal I’ve smoked has been fantastic!

Love it. Love my akorn classic. Maintains temperature great

Food for thought. The grill came on so handy recently we had a power outage due to storms and instead of throwing food away I was able to fire up the grill and keep my family fed thanks big Joe

Over 10 Years and Still Going Strong. We bought our Big Joe over 10 years ago and it is still going strong. We just had to buy a couple of replacement parts because we use it so often. Several of our friends have purchased one after seeing our in action!

Best grill ever! I am thrilled with our new grill! Not only does it meet all our grilling needs, it is a beautiful piece of equipment!

Versatile. Got my first Kamado saved up for it for almost 2 years ! Very pleased and I always recommend it to my peers

Can't believe I waited so long! After years of wanting a Kamado Joe I was finally able to get one. I love it! Plus it's always great hearing my wife say worth it every time I cook on it.

Reliable and accurate. I have owned my big Joe for more than 10 years, I think. I’m completely satisfied with it. I have cooked just about every kind of meat. You can imagine on it, from brisket to salmon, and it has never failed me. It comes up to the right temperature quickly and easily, and it holds that temperature literally for half a day. On some cooks that have gone six hours or more, I’ve set the temperature and put the meat on, and left the house to go play golf all day. When I come back, the temperature in the Joe is just where I left. It’s quite amazing.

It’s a beast!!!! I absolutely love my big Joe series 1, It is a beast just what I needed so I can do multiple items at a time. It takes a bit of practice to dial in the temps but once I get a handle on that, it will be perfect.

Versatile Jack of all trades. I got this grill for my 50th birthday. I have used it atleast every other weekend for the last 2 years. (Even in the dead of winter). It does everything well from basic grilling to smoking to using it as an outdoor oven.

Big Difference. For three years we have been cooking on a Kamado Joe Jr. The Jr. has been a great grill and cooked about every thing we wanted. I just got tired of my wings or hot dogs rolling off it because it was too crowded. The other day we bought the Classic I. Huge difference, lots of room and now I can cook a rack of ribs. I really did not know what I was missing. No learning curve as it works basically the same as the Jr. It is really a classic and I love it.

Big Joe OG. Love my Big Joe. Perfect for my family and friends. We smoke & grill weekly on it!!!

Workhorse. Owned a Big Joe I for several years with no problems whatsoever

Great grill. works great will use often My family loves it. I will use often

Nice smoker. I have nothing but success using this smoker. And when someone else eats from it, it sparks lots of conversation.

Great grill. This grill is massive and I love how easily it maintains the temperature without using much charcoal. It’s heavy but if well maintained it feels like it will last forever.

Say It IS so Kamado Joe! I've had my KJ for almost 8 years now and I LOVE it. It grills, it smokes and everything made on it is phenomenal. I did a lot of research beforehand and decided on the KJ based on the glowing reviews and the superior hinge. And the KJ online community is great. SUPER happy I chose the KJ.

Hold heat! Works great! Just please leave enough time for heat up!
